Blogging evolution

In a sign that weblogs have become the web phenomenon, evolving from web curiosity into a mainstream medium, Modern Elegance magazine, out with The Times tomorrow, devotes an article to five Maltese people living abroad and who are posting their memoirs on the net.

Weblogs are a compelling personal kind of journal, unique to the internet. For the writers - Mark Vella, Guzé Stagno, Immanuel Mifsud, Toni Sant and Sharon Spiteri - some of them known for the controversial content of their writings, this online diary provides an excellent international point of contact, allows them to write freely about almost anything under the sun, from films to experimental philosophy, and gives them space for self-publicity, as some of them admit.

The blogs are mostly devoted to personal musings.

On a different note, Modern Elegance offers tips on how to do the perfect holiday, from weekend breaks, to remote and exotic destinations and the cities of the moment; how to travel in style and what to eat and avoid to make sure your vacation is planned to succeed.

Architect Chris Briffa lists a number of local and international buildings which were enhanced with rooftop architecture.

The publication is also packed with useful fashion tips and the pieces you should lay your hands on for the perfect summer look.

Modern Elegance is published by Q Publications.
